Genesis 12:1-9

God chose Abram because God chose Abram

God shows his glory by choosing the most unlikely, as no one else could possibly do it apart from a miracle of God.

Abram is called (1-3)

God is calling Abram to leave everything he ever knew

God had already been preparing Abram's path to leave to his father's house, his family, and the land that was his

Abram's obedience was part of God's plan for salvation for humanity

Abram obeys (4-9)

This is a public display of Yahweh worship in a land that it was almost foreign

Moses gives the name of cities to show that this isn't a myth, but rather historical events that took place

Application

We do not deserve salvation

God might call us to do the unfathomable

If God calls us, God is faithful in fulfilling His side of the calling

We MUST be obedient to the calling of God.
